INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
A Cheerful Sun Gives More Life to Trade
Prices Steady and Firm.

Cheerful Sun Gives More Life to Trade
Prices Steady and Firm.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 81.
The volume of traffic to-day in most depart
ments was quito satisfactory. The cheerful sun
and more spring-lke air gave more life to trade
One of the most favorable features of the bust
ness situation Is the frmness to prices aud the
few fluctuations in values from day to day.
Then the better tone to the grain markets is
helping matters considerably. Country mer-
chants disposed to purchase more freely
when the grain. the stock and produce markets
are advancing in their tendency, as it means
good times to the producers upon whom the
country merchants depend largely for their
business. Travelling statesmen report the mer-
chants in the cities and larger towns being con-
hdent that their trade this year is to considera-
bly, exceed that of any former year since the
panic of 1873. In prices to-day there were but
few changes. In dry goods there is a fair move
ment. at steady prices, and the present range is
likely to rule for some weeks, at least, TO come.
East the wool market has taken on a firmer
tone. so that lower prices for WOODEN
goods becomes less probable, and the
belief prevails that about the same range of
prices for wool will prevail this did last year.
Grocers were quite busy to-day Coffees continue
to hold the strong position of some weeks past.
belief among country merchants that break in
prices is probable in the near future However,
they dvanced sharply to day. Sugars rule
steady and firm and are in good request. The
produce markets are moving along much in the
same rur for some days past Receipts of
vegetables and strawberries from the Southern
markets are light. and so is the demand, SO high
is the range of prices. few days, however,
will work great changes in this direction as the
shipments from the South will increase Pota-
toes and maple sugar drugs on the market
We still unable to give quotations on salt, as
the rate question is still unsettled. The Lum-
herman. published at Bay City, Mich, says:
1.-THE freight on salt to Chicago, SO cents per
barrel, is prohibitory, and what salt is shipped
from the valley this season must GO by water
unless the railroad companies put different
construction on the interstate law, or the inter-
state commissioners make an exception in regard
to the immense salt output on the Saginaw river
The salt manufacturers should appeal to the
commissioners at once, putting their grievances
in proper shapa"

light receipts. The little quantity arriving is
readily taken for home consumption. Futures
quiet The receipts of corn. as well, are exceed
ingly light, and all grades are wanted at our

To-day's stock market presented a marked
contrast to that of yesterday. being specially
weak, land the improvement last evening was
entirely wiped out and in many cases additional
losses recovered. The feeling was bullish at the
opening and not only the foreigners but the
room-traders were free buyers. There was now
ever, full supply from the clques and when
the early demand was satisfied the whole list
began TO yield. The market received no support
whatever, and the clears" made the most of the
opportunity to raid the market Their efforts
were directed principally against New England,
Manhattan and Reading. the first especially
recording marked declines. The attack upon
Manhattan. which was in consequence of the de-
feat of the Broadway Elevated bill, broke the
stock nearly five points, from which, after many
violent fluctuations, there was material recov-
cry The movement in New England was on
selling by insiders, and was attributed by some
TO sympathy with the Manhattan movement and
by others to dissatisfaction with the condition of
the road by those interested. The remainder Of
the list were moderately active and generally
heavy to weak, but presented no special features.
The opening was firm to strong. first prices
generally showing advances over last even
inps final figures of from to per cent.
Under the pressure for sales the market began
to yield Immediately, and slowly sagged of.
with no special movement except in New Eng
land and Consolidated Gas. After l P. NJ, how
ever. the downward movement gathered force,
and Reading, Jersey Central and Union Pacific
became prominent in the decline In the last half
hour the decline was checked. and the close was
firm at fractions better than the lowest figures.
Sales, 368, 836 shares.
Railroad bonds were quiet Mexican Central
fours became leaders In activity, their sales
reaching Sl56, 900. Erie seconds were steady,
with sales of $4,000. The sales OF all issues
were $l,4l00O0. The general list very
sluggish, but was inclined. to irmness. and a
majority of bonds show fractional advances
Government bonds and State bonds were dull
